    See every dashboard feature & data limits
    Prices & comparisons
    Median asking prices, price per m², price distributions, and comparisons by prefecture and available city, property-type, building-age and station-distance groups.
    Price cuts & negotiation
    Recorded asking-price reductions, typical cut sizes and the share of tracked price changes that are cuts. Follow through to the listings behind recent reductions.
    Supply & market speed
    Listing counts and property-type mix, inventory changes, and days from first detection until removal. Removal does not confirm a sale.
    Area risks
    Compare asking-price patterns across available hazard and area-character groups. These comparisons are not a property inspection or safety clearance.
    Tourism & population
    Guest-night trends and projected population through 2050. The linked area comparison includes sampled short-stay availability, hotel availability and assessed land values—not verified occupancy or rental returns.
    Tools & data quality
    Switch areas and property types, sort tables, and export CSVs with sample sizes and calculation dates. Coverage varies; small samples are suppressed, and snapshot or sample-based views are labeled.

    Listing prices are asking prices, not completed sale prices. Historical snapshots are dated, not live feeds. Area averages are not a valuation of an individual home.

01 / MEMBERSHIP

A fresh property shortlist each week.

An automatic selection from recently added listings, with asking prices, key facts and missing details flagged. No inspections or personal buying advice are included.

  • 10 homes with links to the listings
  • Selected for price, space and listing detail—not a valuation
  • The same weekly selection for every member

Common questions.

Have these homes been inspected?

No. The Top 10 is based on listings and research, not a physical inspection or valuation. Confirm availability and condition before buying.

Does everyone get the same Top 10?

Yes. Everyone receives the same weekly selection. Your property alerts are matched to your saved searches.

Does membership include help buying a house?

No. Our partner Settle Japan sells property checks and buying support separately. Its Relocation Radar subscription is also separate from Maneki.

How complete is the market data?

Coverage varies by area. The dashboard shows when the data was collected, how many records it uses, and where sample data is displayed. Asking prices are not final sale prices.
